Application Assessment

Assessment of your use of Struers equipment, consumables, and methods summarized in an application assessment report

Demands for shorter response times require focus on reliable results in terms of specimen quality and process reproducibility. Minimizing reworking is always a beneficial goal to pursue which often needs new views on processes. Lack of time to sort, analyze, and update knowledge and apply it in work processes can be challenging. This applies both to new users and experienced materialographic staff, for whom external skills and experience can act as inspiration.
